Other Matters Not Listed on the Agenda from the PUBLIC. Patricia Pullen said they removed their buzzards in deference to the teachers. She is a retired teacher and they are supportive of the teachers. They brought thell). the noise from the landfJlI several weeks ago. It is appalling to her. They think the landfill is dangerous. They are not assurred when you are. expanding the landfill in view of how the landfJlI has been run peviously. We do not feel comfortable of your continued monitoring of the landfill. Some of the things that happen with municipal landfills are that there are waivers. There are rigid rules for landfills. Commercial landfill are privately owned landfill would be closed down. She is appalled that you are thinking about continuing to contaminate our area by expanding the landfill. The buzzards are not going to go away as long as there is composting that is going to be there. They appeal to the Board. Mr. Marshall reminded the audience to hold their applause. Howard Hoffner, a resident of Troy, so he is constantly botllered that people buy property near the landflll. They knew what they were doing when they purcl1ased their property. Do not maI,e the remainder of the people suffer. Nobody forced your hands. Dale Copeland said he lives next to the landfill. There have been many promises to close that landfill. The landfill is contaminated. Nobody in this county has the right to poison their neighborhood. The RSWA has approximately 10.0 million sitting to be used for remediation to clean up the landfill. He would Iilee the board to answer what they are doing to clean the landfill. The contaminates deposited 20 years ago are going to seep out. It is important just in terms of our health that you take action now and use that money that is there. If you do not reconsider the CDD cells for 2 years at the least get proactive. What are you activley as a board to protect our health. Get proactive. Agenda Item No.5. Consent Agenda. # I motion. Item No. 5.1. Appropriation: School Division, $12,300 (Form #97052). Item No. 5.2.

Proclamation proclaiming tl1e week of April 12 tl1r~mgh April 18, 1998, as "National TeIecommunicators Week". Agenda Item No.6. Public Hearing to receive comments on Recommended Operating Budget for FY 1998-99. Mr. Marshall read the guidelines for the procedure for the public hearing. Bob Tucker - presentation which reflects changes after work sessions. The total budget amounts to $134,923,570. (Handout) Total county expenditures - school operations - general government. During work sessions, the Board made some additions to the recommended budget. The Board started with a reserve of 388,971. Net reserve of 562,471. Several programs the Board considered after its work sessions which ended in a reserve of 189,711. School Division started with a reserve of 270,422. Net available reserves 1,042,222, funded school board shortfall of 888,023 for net ending reserve of 154,199. During our last public hearing there was a lot of public comments made on growth issues. Projections of population growth, in 20 I 0 we are anticipated over 104,000 people average 2 - 2.5 percent growth rate. On school side enrollment growth is almost identical to the county's growth rate. Consequences of GrOwth - found except from editorial in Richmond Tinles Dispatcl1. Population gains ... impose costs, Etc. Growth management initiatives we have adopted over the past years. Comprehensive Plan, ZoningiSubdivision Regulation, Capital Improvements Program, Open Space and Critical Resources Plan, Water Resources Protection Ordinance. Initiatives under consideration - Mountain Protection Ordinance, Historic Preservation Ordinance, Purchase of Development rights Program, Biodiversity Plan and Design of Urban Infll Strategies. There are a lot of things that are happening now and these are things we have the authority and can move forward on. In 1968 Albemarle County had no comprehsnive land use plan or substantive land use regulations. There was no direct plan for infrastructure. In 1971 the County adopted its first Comprehensive Plan which directs growth. There were other villages - Current land use plan - plan we now have under current law. Major difference because our growth rate has slowed considerably. Weare now dealing with more manageable growth areas. This growth plan and management effort is working. About 70 percent,of growth is in these designated areas. Capital budget initiatives over the past ten years - four new elementary schools, sutherland middle school, monticello high school, major road improvements, etc. Over next five years can anticipate a new northern elementary school, begin funding for southern elementary school, expansion/renovation of 12 schools, etc. Many mentioned at last public hearing grwoth management tools not permittted by state law - impact fees, transfer development rghts, adequate public facilities ordinance and general building moratorium. We do not have the authority that Florida has. He would encourage the residents to give ue authority to give us additional tools to work with to handle our growth. If you feel strongly you need to talk to our delegates and senator. Thank you for your time. . The first threespeakers are Peter Way, John Carter and Ed Robb Mr. Way said once again ell wants to thank you for this opportunity to speak to the budget process. The conservative coalition is proud of the role it has played over the past six weeks. We have clearly evoked a spirited debate. He stands by the numbers and figures by theirbudget committee. One of those miths is that the teachers in this county is underpaid. Do not believe that is true do not necessary believe they are overpaid. Second mith is because of thelow pay our teachers will leave this system. They are not leaving and those who do is that there is a. Our scllOols are not being level funded. If the state rate has decreased then it is because funding has increased year after year. Still have a number of questions about the budget. Will continue their researm. Next year we will be back and more informed. The almost 400 members will be vastly increased. Decreasing the tax rate is possible and reasonable. Next year's assessment all of our taxes will increase. Considerable contituency cannot continue with your spending practices. Asked those present to stand (about 30 people) Mr. Carter said appreciate this opportunity speak. It is frustrating to see thomas jeffersons concept go down in the drain in the county he loved so mum. Government should restrain men from injuring one another. It has become quite plain that if the money is not there for those who want it you are expected to raise taxes to get it for them. We see a policy of spending ever nickle that is available. We have reached a deplorable state. Killing the messenger instead of responding to the message. Whatever happened to representatives where elected officials. We have deteriorated into a society where satisfying someones wants at the expense of the neighbors has been practice. Let'smake one thing clear all the coalition seeks is a Wise and frugal government. Mr. Robb said on Marm II he made a presentation to this Board. He has not heardanything about what has been done to address his concerns. He provided the Board with a copy of his speech. At tl1esame time he will provide themf;dia with hisdocurnents. The smooland education have been thecontention. He is all for albemarle county teachers being the best paid. Our problem is that albemarle is top heavy with administrators. Frankly he is disappointed in you for not holding th eline. Disappointed in you for spending every cent. Wish you would have stood up to the special interest groupandreturn some of the money to the people. The entire public hearing was a farce. Your minds were made up when you got your hands on the money. Page 37 of the general staffing summary a nine year period an increase of 25% of personnel while population increases by 17%. Why has legal services gone from 3 to 6 people. Mr. K 0 Lee, George Hardy andJim Morris. Mr. Lee said aside from the compensation issue he does not know of any employee who gets 8 weeks vacation from the time they came on board. During the period of budget deliberations he sent four pages of questions; He wants to make sure we get the most value for the dollars we spend. Just thinking of it rationally how come there is such a great deal of costs. Mrs. Thomas partially answered part of his questions. Why 17,000 for attorney fees. Can't we settle family quarrels without engaging legal fees. He believes there is a lot of fluff in the scl100l board budget. The other issue has to do with the social services department. Mr. Hardy said he only observed the budget process for the last six weeks. The superintendent told us how much money he needed to meet the standards of learning. He wants money to go from six to seven periods, to add fluff to reduce the number of minutes the teacl1ers teacl1 core subjects and to add 15% more teachers. It is all about employment. Improvements in productivity, increased efficiency, etc. Basically justification they are nice people. That is not how any place should operate. Would approve raises if they were based on merit. Teachers are not merit evaluations. He is disappionted. Mr. Jim Morris, Charles Abbey, Keith Drake and Marshall Tremble Mr. Morris said he request that in the future you consider restating the budget in certain ways. When you talk about tax rate his house in greene county would be 100,000 in albemarle county 140,000. The tax you get in dollars per citizens. Secondly eacl1 tax dollar increase comes from a family and reduces their abiliry to function. We need to keep the resources with the parents so they can do a better job. We have created an underfunded parent while we have funded government. He thinks our schools are doing an outstanding job. The problem is underfunding in homes because parents are working. This 5% increase in compensation is going to be tough on the family who only lives on social security Mr. Abbey said throughout the whole budget process he hears a lot of different numbers. Maybe we can somehow inlprove how the information is getting out. Maybe throughout the year. Pick a few citizens to look at different aspects of county government and come back and report to you. It gives the perception that we are getting the citizen side of how we can save some money. The county budget costs 12 to get a copy and the school budget cost 30.00. Maybe we could do that a little earlier we would want to disseminate as mucl1 correct information to the citizens as early as possilble. We aer not all talking thesame language, Think we are all trying to do the best thing for the commlUlty. Mr. Drake said he is an engineer. Hethinksbuilding a county budget should define the requirements, identify the needs. We use a top down approacl1. Theprocess seems to be to spend every cent we can. He doubt anyone can tell him exactly how much is needed to run the county. When the conservative coalitiontry to identify. When he is asked to pay more he wants to know. The conservative coaltionis beginning to ask the questions. Susan Dell, Charlie Hess andJohn Baldino. Ms. Tremble said this is a wonderful community in whichto raise cl1i1dren. Her son is about to graduate from WARS. He does not think it is a good scl100l system for all who are going there. She is concernedabout the cl1i1dren who are at risk and have special needs. She volunteers with the book buddies program in the city shools. That program has gained national prominence. She also volunteered in WAS. It gave an insight into why minority test scores are so low. Those cl1i1dren need special help so they can succeed Ifre everyone else. She wants albemarle county to reverse the trend. She thanked the county scl1001 teacl1ers for the work they have done. She appreciates the energy in which they do theirjobs. Ms. Dell said she is a homeowner. She substitute taught at middle and high scl1001level. She has no cl1ildren in the county school system. Thanks to her and to their teacl1ers. Tonight when you are considering the budget consider tlle human consequences. Be pound wise to weigh the larger long term issues. Remember the children who deserve the best education we can give them. She is a conservative and she wants to perserve a safe and sound state of affairs. she wants to conserve teacl1er morale. She wants to conserve,our cl1i1drens future. She wants to restore full raise for teacl1er salaries. You get what you pay for. Mr. Hess said he is a parent of two cl1i1dren. The solution to this proposed unbalanced scl100l budget is better management of the schools and funds. Have to question the value of gifted program. This program competes and conflicts with other classes. Lets stop putting labels on these cl1ildren. More effective and efficient way of teacl1ing students is to group eacl1 according to their perfonnance in critical areas. With each teacl1er in that grade taking one of the groups and teaching simultaneously. The result with be a better education for all cl1i1dren. The benefit ofthis program it would reduce the number of cl1ildren falling into the at risk program. Abuse of funds is foreign aid program. 0 to 2 students in the county study abroad. Call upon supervisors to scrutinize value of all programs. Mr. Baldino, Eric Strucko, Carey Branch and John Lowman. Mr. Baldino resident for 25 years said couple of things that keep coming up. The distinction that seem to be made is about teacl1ers and taxpayers. Do not want to see any more money spent that has to. Education costs money. Every year teachers put out several hundred dollars out of pocket to subsidize scl1001 supplies. The issue ofbenefits. Increase in cost of health care and vrs. We get no . more benefit from retirement or health care. While itcosts the county more it is noincrease in benefit. Thirdly there has been a lot of talk to the reduction in 2.5 percent. The issue is not the future dollars involved. The issue is one of respect. Last tonight you will hear about the positive side of education. Standing up for public education. (About 75 people stood) Mr. Strucleo director of budget for university said education and health care are two valuable services. This is not a strong investment. In fact thisis not strong for any organization. Question whether theorganization isunder sound management. Invest in your people. Chose to divertfunds. Move the funds back into teacl1er salaries. Mr. Branch said the new high school is the root of every budget problem in this County. Starting in June there will be some extras. The scl100l is excessively priced butit is still not too late for you to stop the flow of money out there. That facility is the taj mal1al of albemarle county. Sue Casteen, Ma (Marshall out at 8:21 p,m.) As a graduate of AHS, she is concerned about misinformation. This decision was necessitated by the state. In 1971 classes the scl1o01 day had a seven period. Albemarle county was only offering six periods. Our cl1ildren need more time. Definition of a teacl1er. That is decided by accrediation agencies. Teachers do not get 8 weeks of vacation. In the early 1830's - democracy of amercia. Our cl1i1dren are entering a world even more complex. She hopes that we will continue to exhibit enlightened interest. Ms. Casteen said she is a registered voter and taxpayer (Marshall returned at 8:25) She has been a loyal employee. For the last four years Hollymead students have gone to the science fair for the region and they are winning. All second grade students wrote illustrated and red books of 26 pages in length. She thanked the board for responsbility funding growth needs. Ms. Shepherd, a registered voter, teacl1 at Heruey Middle Scl1ool, thanked the Board for responsbile funding growth needs. Reflect dedicated work. 1vo Romanesko, Paul Wright and ElizabethWay Loyal employee of Albemarle, proud of sutherland. Thanked the board to responsibly fund. Consider a raise that will reflect their work. Mr. Romanesko said property owner and president co-cl1air cia. He is here to commend the members for their job for presenting a balanced budget with no tax increase; however thecitizens passed a referendum which allowed a meals tax to pass. The leadership at the chamber know you face unique challenges. We appreciate your efforts and congratulate all of those involved. Strongly request you do everything you can to keep this balanced budget, to work within the financial. Keep you for your commitment. Mr. Wright said throughout these presentations talked about budget. Not a single number has been disproven and that is because they all came from you. We are remembering the cl1ildren. That is where it should be going. Fringe benefits are important. Medical costs are part of CPI. The University medical costs are the reasons we have those increased costs. Budget analysis by tallGnga bout percentages without comparisons are meaningless. Never said teacl1ers are underpaid. Four different ways you can cl1ange vrs. Thinks these areas can be cl1allenged. Mrs. Way said a lot of these reports are based on reports from the state. A lot of the indicators waS everything except the standardized test scores. One main test score for 11m grade test score 39% of AC scored about the 75% percentile. We do notknow that if you take the report and read it will say 39% who took the test, not all took the test. How many are they and why is that the oruy test result given. How come the others were not given. How come most of the reports are based on the number of we do not care about what isdone across the state. How well do all the students do basedon academic lessons taught in the scl1ools. If that would be a priority, how well are all the students doing. We will know nex"t fall. (Bowerman out 8:38 p.m.) Ms. Andrews a parent of two children said she has been distressed by the budget process. There is no statementattacl1ed forthe superintendent to make a statement on quality. During past five years shcools have received level funding. Feel this is in part is due to a reactionary process. Where was the planning all other than on paper. You become more proactive on the process that will affect issues. Challenge this audience of (Bowerman returned 8:42) you would find that you pay too mucl1. Donna Washington said she is current employee for 3 years. She teacl1es at sutherland. Sutherland students have made contributions to the community around them. Cited accomplishments of the students. Thank the board for funding growth needs. Reconsider raise. Christine bateman, Harvey and Ed Jones Ko - taxpayer said she has taught in the county for 22 years. Accomplishments. They do the extra work because they value their students. They are not coomunity servants and they should be treated as professionals. As the state requires higher and higher standards of education of our students, she urge the board to reconsider the amount to attract and keep the high quality of teamers. Christine Bateman -junior at AH, said she Sees both the potential of the students and teamers. AH excels but the excellence is threaterned by the budget shortcomings. Need for more teamers. There are problems with supplies. There are not enough textbooks to go around. The temperature controL Issue of teamer salaries. Her teachers are always available to provide extra help. Their role is not confined to the role in the classroom. Educators are one of the most valuable resources in the community. They need to be fairly compensated. Harvey said a healthy debate should not include professionals who team our students. Our cl1i1dren need skills thanked the teamers and administrators for staying focused on whatis importanL Ed Jones, Woremoreland, Dugan, Mr. Jones, Chairman of JABA, askedBoard to support JABA's request for funding for their downtown center. Reconsider funding. Asking county to prorate remaining 50 percenL The average age of ac citien is 76. Majority is low income minority. Ask you appropriate additional funding. Westmoreland said some people are concerned about the fat in this budgeL The point of this budget is to cut spending. Dugan registered voter said he has been a loyal employee for 8 years. He is proud of school accomplishments. Thanked the board for responsibly funding growth needs. Professionals responsible for accomplishments. Reconsider your stance. Horton, Marla Munti, stephanie and donald Iyons. Horton said she is a mysterious classified employee. She is proud of how far we have come. Ac have met and accepted the challenge of mainstream. Scottsville school has made this a priority. They take great pride in their job. Apparent lack of support during time of (statement) Munger registered voter and taxpayer has been loyal employee for three years. Presently team at Stone Robinson. (Statement) thanked board. Urge board to reconsider position on amount of raise. Reynolds said (statement) teach at stone robinson. Proud of outstanding teaming staff. Urge board to reconsider the amount of the raise. Charlie trachta, Donald Lyons said it seems the only predictable thing about the coalition is there contempt for government. Statements. Personal attack on Lee what kind of statement is that. We should look at downzoning the entire county. Not expand existing growth areas. He thinks it would be in oUr interest to help the city stabilize its tax base. Charls Tramta said the pensionmedial practice is notan issue. It was decided back in the 1980's. Test scores show our schools are not failing. We need guidance counselors because thefamily is breaking down. The coalition's argument would be better if they submitted theirown budget. If you want to breal( the cycle of poverty then reject these people who think with their pocket books. . McAdams said parent of 15 year old sophmore and teamer at Burley. How hard to stand up in front of the classroom and teach. She is glad to team but she also does not see teachers through rose colored glasses. Respect for profession has declined considerably. ~ I'''' 7 Mimael said registered voter employee of ac for 25 years. Teach at WHS. Physics teamer. He has two degrees. He is not in this profession or school system for the money. He is in this f'\ ~ profession for his children. As a professional educator he has been insulted by the statements and /" actions of some of themembers of this board. He urge the board to remember that their education {5> depended on teachers like those in ac. Recess 9: 16 p.m. Reconvene 9:33 Bob, Patricl<, Alex Bob, a resident of the County and taxpayer commended county administration, school board and supervisors retained tax rate. You have walked a tight roap. He commends county employees. These are the people who willmal<e this budget into a reality. You are not irresponsible. Same people critized county employees. Our teamers are professionals. Most of the teachers are committed to their profession. When some people urge you to cut the three percent salary increase they are saying that our teachers and the other members of our county staff are not worth .it. This shows profound disrespect for county employees. Keep the 3 percent increase in salary for county employees. Weare our government and you are not our adversaries. Patrick Ciccone a junior at AHS said smool is most important. He sees albemarle in its reality. Quality of education is high. Despite the inability to travel beyond the county lines. There are teamers allegedly who end their days at 3:30 p.m. Despite pending elimination of coaching bur athletic teams continue to win. Alex Jordan no show Ed Strauss, Douglas and Boyle Ed a citizen of Western Albemarle County said every person in this county has potential for taxes rises next year. Your concern should be fairness to the people. Where is there anything for anybody else. You can't just have teamers more money. Somewhere the average salaries have been met. School system is judged by the whole not just by tlle best and brightest. Is he a cash cow. We are all worth something. One way is to raise taxes and rebate to the people who do not have children. Douglas - registered voter and taxpayer, loyal employee, sand he is proud of the manner in whim the schoool pull together. Severe overcrowding. Teamers have given up planning and lunm time. Students have redoubled their efforts to achieve and excel. Thank the board for responsbilty funding growth needs of schools. Boyle - Shelter for Health and Emergency - receiptent of services. For years she was abused emotionally and verbally. Recommended by County police officer to go to counseling. Had under extreme threats. She has receivedindividual and group counseling which has kept her going. Think their budget is modest. Give all you can give them. Men also get counseling. Abuse is not limited to win. Delorian, Borwn, Law Rimard Deloria not a resident of the County, assistant attorney in AC, speaking on bellalf of Shelter: The Shelter is incredibly important to the success oflaw enforcement in teID1S of finding victims and successful prosecution. The Shelter is important to the albemarle community. . Brown said she is a hardworking taxpayer. She is a parent. They moved here from Fairfax in 1991. Main consideration in a house was because of the quality of smools. Basic services in schools are in danger of being eliminated. Cannot rest upon ourloes. Must be willing to fully fund the schools. (About 30 people stood) if basic services are not maintained they will move to an area where basic education is valued. Law a resident of the county thanked the board for the Shelter. Continue to fund the Shelter. She has read statistics. Domestic violence is the greatest... The works of the batterer... Being able to go to the shelter. She knows that women can build to become active. Your funding of the shelter is a precious gift. Backhouser, back, savage Karen - board of directors for Shelter - thank you for your support in previous years - fully fund the shelter's budget. Only place that provides 24 hour 365 days per year. Provide children programs. In 1996-97 shelter at 38% increase in residential clients. Seek funding based onservices we provide. Changes in law have seen increase in services. We expect to see more victims over the next year. Read letter from a victim. Take our request under advisement and fully fund budget. Keith - father of threestudents attending county smools. This is not about pay raise. It is about control and power. Proper planning could have decreased this need. The citizens elected you to maintain mecks and balances. Chargeyou with funding educational programs. Savage have yet to hear any credible evidence that teacl1ers are paid too much. Proud to be a teacher of exceptional students. She also cares aboutwhat shedoes make. They do not get the average wage. Her future depends a great deal on what she earns. Fleetwood teamer at Agnor Hurt said the budget process has turned into a them vs. us. She knows of no other profession orgroup that has to constantly do this. No onegoes into this profession for the money. Many teamers spend hundreds of dollars out of their pockets for supplies. More money to further their own education. My raise will not be one percent. Before we keep tossing around figures the facts need to be straight. Fosselman said she has taught for 25 years. She lives in the county. 25 years ago the choices for women were limited. The misnoma that we still have to stand here to try to convinceyou that we do nothave 8 weeks of vacation. They are not the enemy. They are trying to invest in the mildren. She would invite any of you to come into her classroom give her a week of her time and she mallenge you and find out what education is really about. Goodwin, connor, redinger, freeman <. .~ Goodwin said ac has tiuly become her home. Work with a forward thinking energetic principal. Thank the board for responsbily funding growth needs. Connor said a member of parent council representing Stony Point PTO. Teamers want to do a better job. They do not just want to maintain the status quo. Time and time again we are asking teamers to do more with less. Don't balance thebudget on the backs of our teamers. Grant them the compensation they have worked hard to earn. Freeman said taught atwAHS for 19 years. Accomplishments of students at WailS. W A scores are highest in central virginia. Scored 10 percent better than the state average. We truly offer a college preparatory unmatched by any smool either private or public in central virginia. All accomplishments are the result of a student's hard work. Education works. Please uspport the school budget. Mr. Marshall thanked everyone for staying here and he appreciates the comments that have been made. Charles said everyone seems to fully fund shelter. David fully fund senior center downtown. Agenda Item No. 7. Approval of Minutes: February 21 and April 17, 1996. Charles Martin and Walter Perkins read minutes Motion #2 Agenda Item No.8.

" COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AGENDA TITLE: AGENDA DATE: ITEM NUMBER: FY 1998/99 Proposed Budget Hearing April 8, 1998 ACTION: INFORMATION: X SUBJECTfPROPOSAL/REOUEST: Public Hearing on the Board of Supervisors' CONSENT AGENDA: FY 1998/99 Proposed Budget ACTION: INFORMATION: ATTACHMENTS: Yes d,~ STAFF CONTACT(S): Messrs. Tucker, White REVIEWED BY: / v'J( 7 BACKGROUND: The Board of Supervisors approved a proposed FY 1998/99 Operating Budget of $134,9 million at its final worksession on March 23, 1998. DISCUSSION: Attached for your information prior to the public hearing on April 8 is a summary of the proposed changes from the County Executive's recommended operating budget and a budget summary of the Board of Supervisors' proposed operating budget that has been made available to the public. Changes to the recommended budget total $191,588, which reflect the additional $180,000 in state school revenues and $11,588 in additional General Fund revenues (mainly due to additional State reimbursements for constitutional officer salaries.) Expenditure changes for General Government reflect the net impact of $161,912 in expenditure savings (generally reflecting the proposed decrease in employee merit from 3% to 2.75% and the VRS life insurance rate holiday in FY 98/99), and $372,760 in Board of Supervisors' funded additions to the recommended budget. These additions include $150,000 in additional General Fund transfer to the School Division, $112,868 in additional funds for School Debt Service, and $109,892 in General Govemment funded initiatives. Remaining Board contingency reserves total $189,711. School Fund expenditure changes also reflect $441,800 in expenditure savings from the reduction in employee merit and vRS life rate holiday. With these expenditure.reductions, plus the additional $180,000 in School Fund revenues and the $150,000 increase in General Fund transfer to the Schools, the School Division is able to fully fund its requested shortfall amount of$888,023. Remaining School Board contingency reserves total $154,199 and Il1lIY be used for additional School Division expenditures. The proposed budget recommends no increase in property tax rates. RECOMMENDATION: No action is recommended at this time. The FY 98/99 Operating Budget and the FY 98/99 Capital Improvement Budget will be adopted at the Board's meeting on April 15th, along with setting the 1998 tax rates. 98.060 0410219802:31 'i'M " ALBEMARLE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS PROPOSED BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING JULY 1, 1998 ESTIMATED EXPENDITURES General Adminstration Judicial Public Safety Public Works Human Development Parks, Recreation and Culture Community Development Compression Reserve Refunds SUBTOTAL GENERAL GOVERNMENT EDUCATION Regular School Operations Self-Sustaining Programs School Debt Service SUBTOTAL EDUCATION COUNTY/CITY REVENUE SHARING CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM JAIL EXPANSION RESERVE BOARb CONTINGENCY RESERVE TOTAL ESTIMATED EXPENDITURES ESTIMATED REVENUES From Local Sources From the Commonwealth - General Government From the Commonwealth - School Division From the Federal Government Self-Sustaining (School Fund) Carry-Over/ Transfers!

The major purpose of budgeting is to formally convert the County's long range plans and policies into services and programs. The budget provides detailed financial information on the costs of services and the expected revenues for the upcoming fiscal year. The budget process also provides a forum for a review of progress made in the current year and for a review of the levels of service provided by local government. What is the budget? The budget is divided into three major parts, each with separate documents and public hearings. The operating budget is the total and complete budget used to finance all of the day-to-day opera- tions of local government and the schools. It consists of several major sections including general government operations, school operations, school debt service, capital outlay, and the City- County revenue sharing payment. Funding for this budget is derived primarily from taxes, fees, licenses, fines, and from state and federal revenues. The school budget is used to completely describe the operations of the County's schools. It is prepared by the Superintendent's office and is approved by the School Board. The schools have their own budget calendar which is separate from that of other budgets. Funding for the school budget is derived mainly from a transfer from the General Fund, fees, and inter-governmental revenues (i.e. state and federal funding.) The Capital Improvements Program (CIP) is used to purchase or fmance the construction of capital goods from the building of schools, parks, and roads to the upgrading of computer and phone system equipment. Funding for these projects is obtained primar- ily from bond issues (long term debt which is only borrowed for the building of school projects) and from transfers from the oper- ating budget. What are the State requirements? The Commonwealth of Virginia requires that all localities meet certain budget guidelines, as outlined in Sections 15.2-2500 to 15.2-2513 of the Code of Virginia (1950), as amended. According to these guidelines, all localities within Virginia must have a fiscal year beginning on July I and ending on June 30 and must approve a balanced budget. The School Board must approve the School Budget by May 1 or within 15 days of receiving estimates of state funding, whichever occurs later. The Board of Supervisors must approve the operating budget and set the tax rate by July 1 of each year. The adoption of the operating budget and the tax rate requires the Board to hold a public hearing and to advertise this hearing no less than 7 days in advance. Although these are the minimum state requirements, the County traditionally has adopted the budget by April 15 in order to establish teacher contracts and to set the personal property tax priorto the tax bill mailing date. The official appropriation of funds takes place prior to July 1 of each year. When are the budget decisions made and how can I participate in the process? Eachyearthe County develops a schedule of events which describe the dates of public and Board participation in the budget process. The Board is asked to approve the sched- ule of the budget process in order to establish firm dates for meetings and provide the public with as much notice as possible. Important FY 98/99 budget dates appear on the cover of this budget summary. What is the budget process? The County's FY 1998/99 operating budget schedule began on October 17, 1997, with a preliminary projection of revenues for the coming year. On November 5, the Board provided the County Executive with financial guidelines for the development of the budget. In mid- November, the County Executive's Office sent budget instructions to all departments. In mid-December, de- partments submitted budgets to the County Executive's Office. From the middle of December to the middle of January, the executive staff reviewed budget requests and devel- oped budget-related questions. From these discussions, the executive staff developed recommendations ranging from the funding of new programs to the reduction of funding for current programs. In mid-February, the School Superintendent submitted the school budget to the County Executive and the executive staff reviewed the school budget. At the end of February, the County Executive made the necessary adjustments to balance the budget and staff printed the County Executive's recommended budget. This budget Was presented to the Board on March 4. A public hearing on the County Executive's recommenda- tion Was held on March 11. After the public hearing, the Board began a detailed re- view of each area of the budget and recommended specific cuts or additions to the County Executive's recommended budget. After all the budget changes have been agreed upon, a public hearing on the Board of Supervisors' Proposed Budget and the tax rate is held in early April. On April 15, the Board is scheduled to adopt the operating and capital budgets, and set the tax levy for the coming year. The budget is legally enacted through passage of a Resolution of Appropriation prior to June 30. B ud~et 061ectltJes & d-(i~hli~hts Fiscal Plan Strategies: .

Given total available revenues of $83,486,01l, the shortfall is $0.888 million. Their request is deemed a maintenance of current effort by the School Board.

The major components of the School Division's funded operational budget ip,clgde: $1.2 million in growth costs for the anticipated 295 n~w students, including 19.36 new teachers for regular and special education; $0.8 million in start-up operations for the new Monticello High School; partial funding for the Standards of Accreditation at $1.2 million (including the phased implementation of the 7-period schedule for high schOOls); and regrJ.lar salary and benefit increases for teaching and classified staff.

The major purpose of budgeting is. to formally convert the County's long rnnge plans and policies into services and programs. The budget provides detailed financial information on the costs of services and the expected revenues for the upcoming fiscal year. The budget process also provides a forum for a review ofprogress made in the current year and for a review of the levels of service provided by local government. What is the budget? The budget is divided into three major parts, each with separate documents and public hearings. The operating budget is.the total and complete budget used to fmance all of the day-to"day opera- tions of local government and the schools. It consists of several major sections including general government operntions,school operations, school debt service, capital outlay, and the City- County revenue sharing payment. Funding for this budget is derived primarily from taxes, fees, licenses, fines,and from State and federal revenues. The school budget is used to completely describe the operations of the County's schools. It is prepared by the Superintendent's office and is approved by the School Board. The schools have their own budget calendar which is separate from that of other budgets. Funding for the school budget is derived mainly from a transfer frOll"l the General Fund, fees, and inter-governmental revenues (i.e. state and federal funding.) The Capital Improvements Program (CIP)islisedto purchase or fmance the construction of capital goods from the building of schools, parks, and roads to the upgrading of computer and phone system equipment. Funding for these projects is obtained primar- ily from bond issues (long term debt which is only borrowed for the building of school projects) and from transfers from the oper- ating budget. What are the State requirements? The Cornmonwealth of Virginia requires that all localities meet certain budget guidelines, as outlined in Sections 15.2-2500 to 15.2-2513 of the Code of Virginia (1950), as amended. According to these guidelines, all localities within Virginiall"lusthave a fiscal year beginning on July 1 and ending on June 30 and must approve a b.a1ancedbudget. The School Board must approve the School Budget by May I or within 15 days of receiving estimates of state funding, whichever occurs later. The Board of Supervisors must approve the operating budget and set the tax rate by July I of each year. The adoption of the. operating budget and the tax rate requires the Board to hold a public hearing and to advertise this hearing no leSS than 7 days in advance. Although these are the minimum state requirements, the County traditionally has adopted the budget by April 15 in order to establish teacher contracts and to set the personal property tax prior to the tax bill mailin.g date. The official appropriation of funds takes place prior to July I of each year. When are the budget decisions madeandh()W can I participate inth(!process? Each yearthe County develops a schedule ofeyents which describe the dates of public and Board partiqipation in the budget process. The Board is asked to approve the sched- ule of the budget process in. order to establish firm dates for meetings and provide the public with as much notice as possible. hnportant FY 98/99 budget dates appear on the cover of this budget sunIDlary. What is the budget process? The County'sFY 1998/99 operating budget. schedule began on October 17, 1997, with a preliIninary projection of revenues fOr the coming year. On November 5, the Board provided the County Executive with fmancial guidelines for the development of the budget. In mid- November, the County Executive's Office sent budget instructions to all departments. In mid-December, de- partments submitted budgets to the County Executive's Office. From the middle of December to tile middle of January, the executive staff reviewed budget requests and devel- oped budget-related questions. From these discussions, the exe.cutive staff developed recommendations ranging from the funding of new programs to the reduction of funding for current programs, In mid-February, the School Superintendent submitted the school budget to the County Executive and the executive staff reviewed the school budget. At the end of Febmary, the County Executive made the necessary adjustIIlents to balance the budget and staff printed the County Executive's recomrnendedbudget. This budget was presented to tile Board on March 4: A public hearing on the County Executive's recommenda- tion was held on March I L After the public hearing, the .13oard began a detailed re- view of each area of the budget and ~ecommended specific cuts or additions to tile County Executive' srecommended budget. After all the budget changes have been agreed upon, a. public hearing on the Board of Supervisors' Proposed Budget and the tax rate is held in early April. On April 15 , the Board is scheduled to adopt the operating and capita! budgets, .and set the. tax levy. for the coming year. The budget is legally enacted through passage of a Resolution of Appropriation prior to June 30. :~':r;"'o"..~"J~[:I.,.J~:,~}T,:",~~", . - -J:,i.,. :",.,."J~:::, -;_.*1t.~il_'}"",.- ,~,~, _;;:_,-:c,~,~"<,,~,""""_;_':<:'-':'0~:I,,,>~,>,~.~y;,,-, 'i."".,'-~-,:-:<-!'i'~ .- '<" ,f ,,;cr' ",' -.,,'--,"-',","'--,' ,~_ ",,0.-__.- I , I I ffi I I I I I B ud~et ObjectiVe-fig J-li~hli~hts Fiscal Plan Strategies: .
